The resident was independent with eating. He was dependent on staff for toileting and transfer tasks, and required substantial/maximal assistance with bed mobility. A review of the active Care Plan revealed the following focus areas: - [Resident #33] is at risk for impaired gas exchange related to COPD and chronic respiratory failure. (created 7/20/20, revised 3/10/25). Goal: Resident will have decreased risk of complications related to impaired gas exchange through the review date. Interventions: Oxygen as ordered. Clean concentrator/filters as ordered. Change oxygen tubing as ordered. - [Resident #33] requires assistance with ADLs related to limited mobility and muscle weakness secondary to CHF (congestive heart failure), COPD, AFIB (atrial fibrillation), urine retention, chronic respiratory failure, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, depression, obesity, anemia, hypokalemia, dorsalgia, sleep apnea, diabetes mellitus, right foot drop, obstructive/reflux uropathy, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), hydrocephalus, and HTN (hypertension).
